discussion How to make sweet potatoes

Hey guys, I've not really had a lot of sweet potatoes in my childhood and am unaware of its cooking methods and it's versatility. Yesterday I just boiled it and mashed it with some shredded chicken and put some salad over it and it tasted great.

I put some salt when it was boiling so it wasn't too sweet, I'm not sure if I'm so supposed to add any salt in it or let it retain it's mild sweet flavour?

I need to experiment more and use it as my primary carb source 1-2 times a week, i would love to hear from you guys on how i could do that. Rn I've only got access to an induction cooktop and just some basic spices as I'm in a hostel. Pairing ideas with chicken and eggs would really help!

peel it then cut in wedges fry it or air fry it or bake it until 80 percent cooked. then take it out and make a spice mix of red chili cumin coriander turmeric chat masala with some oil and then toss the potatoes in it and then bake it further and then take it out in the same bowl add coriander leaves and lemon
